First Year Residence Halls will compete to reduce electricity usage through the Energy Olympics, a competition designed to raise awareness about residential electricity consumption and promote sustainable energy practices. Prizes are awarded to the residence that achieves the greatest reductions in electricity consumption during the designated competition period. All participants must complete the registration and post competition survey to be elligible for the prize.

Three Chances for Prizes

Prizes will be awarded based on the resident’s location on the last day of the division’s competition.

  1. Random registrant – a random person will win a prize for registering below.
  2. Random post competition survey participant – a random person will win a prize for completing the post competition survey below. Even if your building didn’t win, you could get the prize!
  3. Building winners, registrant and survey participant – everyone that completes the registration, post competition survey and is a resident of the building that reduces the most electricity will win points towards WhatsaHoya for the First Year’s Division (must be a resident as of October 31st).

Prizes will be awarded to residentail assistants and community directors of the winning building for encouraging participation. The greater you save, the greater the incentive.

First Year’s Division

The First Year’s Division includes Copley, Darnall, Harbin, New South and Reynolds. These buildings will compete against their building’s September electricity consumption. The building that reduces the percent of electricity used from October 1st – October 31st the most will receive points towards WhatsaHoya if they complete the registration and post competition surveys.
